Kenneth Thomas Weetch (17 September 1933 â 5 February 2026) was a British Labour Party politician. He was a Member of Parliament from 1974 to 1987.
Weetch was born in Abercarn, Wales, on 17 September 1933, and was educated at Newbridge Grammar School in nearby Caerphilly and later at the London School of Economics. Having qualified as a teacher, he held various posts in education, including as a history teacher at Mayfield Boys School in Goodmayes, Essex, from where he went on to become a Member of Parliament.
Having unsuccessfully contested the Saffron Walden constituency in the 1970 general election, Weetch was selected for the Ipswich constituency and won the seat at the October 1974 general election. He remained the town's MP until the 1987 general election, when, against the national trend, he lost his seat to the Conservative candidate Michael Irvine.
Weetch died on 5 February 2026, at the age of 92.
